What is Despicable Dead?
Ever want to scream at the world’s wicked ways? Well, you’ve found a “safe space” to do it.
Despicable Dead revisits the lives of those who chose to make the world specifically worse. We publish regular videos and podcasts, each profiling a bygone blighter richly deserving of our contempt.
We’ll mock. We’ll make merry. And we’ll tell the truth as best we can.
Who are you?
Let’s call me, ‘Subnambulist.’ I’m the enchanted and animated fiction telling you true tales. I’m as fake as AI slop and as real as a history book (not that those are always unimpeachable sources of fact).
I’ve been conjured into being to mock and jape for your amusement. So you know, please forgive me my jests. I arrive with you at the cemetary gates, and evaporate as we drift back to the waking world.
Is any of this rubbish true?
Actually… almost all of it. Honest Gov’. I research this stuff. But, don’t make the mistake of citing Despicable Dead in your homework. These are satires. I’ll bend and twist, opine and editorialise; it’s just I avoid outright making stuff up.
I’m trying to entertain you. Maybe you’ll get find something to reflect on. But I’m not Encyclopædia Britannica, nor even Wikipedia. I’m a fictious figure with a flippant turn of phrase.
Can a listener nominate a subject?
Sure. It’s a free country…. unless it’s not a free country… I don’t know where you are. But I’m not encouraging it.
I may even rudely ignore it. But the comment sections are open. ‘You do you.’
Part of the fun of creating these episodes is tunnelling a rabbit hole to discover a yet another corrupted corpse. I’m not chosing them for clicks or name recognition. I’m bored with the, “top ten serial killers,” listicles. Aren’t you?
Permit me be your guide to the wider world of the ghastly and wretched. Allow me to introduce you to the Despicable.
Merch
Really cool logo! Where can I get a bunch of tat with that on it?
Sure!
Join me as we delve into the wondrous realm of print-on-demand merchandise!
I’d like to have a factory silk printing goodies in the back garden, but it just isn’t practicle. You may be surprised to learn that there simply isn’t room under my bed for a warehouse full of stock. Besides, the cat’s usually asleep under there.
But fear not. However humble your host may be, he can still call upon the wizards of internet merch-making.
From this site, you can order whizzy T-shirts, mugs and miscellaneous schmutter. Just follow the links.
